"The CAYS Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to empowering youth and their families, who are experiencing difficulties achieving their full human potential..."

BRIEF HISTORY:

In December 2002, the Children and Youth Services (CAYS)
Foundation was established as a private Government Owned
Company mandated to manage and operate two Residential Homes
(The Frances Bodden Girls Home and the Bonaventure Boys Home )
providing 24 hour residential care for at-risk adolescents

Youth are placed in the Homes through the Department of Children
and Family Services (DCFS) via Court Orders

The underlying aim of CAYS Foundation’s service methodology is to
provide treatment for broken lives by maintaining a:

CAYS FOUNDATION EXPANDING TO REACH YOUNG BOYS IN CRISIS.

To augment the limited resources currently available to boys needing Care and Protection, the newest addition to CAYS Foundation’s services is a home for boys on Care Orders, opened in February, 2016; we accepted our first resident in May of 2016. The facility has the capacity to house 8 residents, the boys extension is located on the campus of the Frances Bodden Children’s Home, Lottery Road in Lower Valley.
